It was the answer to my own leading question, but the words still shocked me. "They don't know about heaven!" The little Laotian girl in my Sunday School class back home was talking about people she loved and her voice was intense with urgency. I looked into her eyes and was forced to ask myself the questions that have only burned themselves deeper into my soul since arriving in Boudha a few days ago:
"What would it be like to live without knowing about heaven?"
And, "If you didn't know about heaven,
what would it be like to die?"

What amazing thoughts...I'll be mulling over these today. Praying for you constantly!
ReplyDeleteSo thankful to read your words as my mother-in-law suffers from cancer and, I fear, faces her final weeks on this earth. Thank you Jesus for the hope and peace only YOU can provide.
ReplyDeleteJordan, thank you for those prayers! Saw vividly yesterday that it makes an eternity of difference.
ReplyDeleteBethany, I am praying for your mother-in-law, and for you and your husband and family, that the God of all comfort will sustain you!
